50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Foothill Ranch

“Very good food. Many choices on menu. Downside is they are very hard to get on phone. Also the hours they have posted online, even on this page, show “OPEN” Sunday, when we found out the hard way they are indeed NOT open. Please change your online presence to state correct days/hours. Including Yelp. This would be very helpful. Other than that, I give it “2 Thumbs up”.“

“The staff here is excellent!!!! These guys are always running around doing their best to serve people. I FORGOT you okay it the front so bring cash for a tip. I felt I didnt5 leave as much as I sgould have, I'm sorry. Really awesome and welcoming. Haven't been here since I was a kid. Totally fun for the nostaliga love. The salad bar was awesome, glad to see it open again. Good prices for everything as well. Life you get tons of healthy options here! They still have the cheese toast! That was my treat with the salad. The food is good and simple. Perfect spot for picky eaters, I saw plenty of kids getting food and actually eating it.“

“So much fun! Came here for my birthday and they did everything right- food, ambiance, staff, etc“

“First time here and love this place new favorite pokey spot. Kye told me he could make me a really good bowl and he made me his bowl. The chef introduced himself and advised me the salmon was fresh. Amazing bowl for an amazing price my new spot.“

“Listen, if you’re in RSM or the surrounding areas and have not stopped for a taco Tuesday, a poki bowl, chips & guac, a bowl or plate, then you are seriously missing out.
Even when they’re super busy Spikes in RSM takes the time to care about their people & make sure you leave happy. I love this spot, the people who work there & the food they put out! They’re the best fast-casual restaurant in town.
Thanks, Spikes!!“

“Food was delicious, especially the Chilean seabass. Service was fast and friendly. Lost my wallet. Went back and the manager Brian Dogotch had it saved for me. Thanks for a great experience!“

“So many good things. Soba noodle salad. yum! My favorite is the healthy fish and chips. The cajun whitefish was unbelievable! Everything is that I’ve had there.“

“good food on the go. plenty of seafood options.“

“The Best in OC . Great music. Great food.“

“This food truck is tucked in the same lot as George’s Episcopal Church. Pro tip: map the church so you don’t get lost. There are several eateries in that lot, but don’t get distracted just look for the green food truck and you’ll know you’ve found the right spot!

I came here right after my workout and ordered food to go. OMG, I had no idea the tacos were humongous! They are literally the size of my palm spread out! Jeeesuz!

I ordered three tacos:

Gobernador: I didn’t get to it until the next day, but the shrimp were so big and juicy, and that Chipotle aioli? Pure genius. I could put that on everything!
Octopus: The only one I ate fresh that day and oh my goodness, flavor explosion! The melted cheese, the seasoning, the texture… everything about it is 10/10!
Spicy Shrimp: I accidentally doubled up on shrimp tacos so I saved this one for the next day too, still delicious, still worth it.

Service can take a little while since there’s only one person taking orders and they’re cooking everything fresh in the truck, but trust me , it’s absolutely worth the wait!

Who would’ve thought a little food truck could make such a big impact? Don’t sleep on this hidden gem please come and taste the goodness for yourself!“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“excellent food atmophere and service!“

“Had a wonderful evening out with my wife at Ironwood Cellars in Laguna Hills. We had reservations for 5:30 p.m. and arrived early. We were greeted by Joe, the manager on duty, who was very kind, professional, and welcoming. Art was our server and is amazingly gifted in customer service professionalism and overall people skills. Yes, showing the love. We started with tequilla drinks from the bar, and we each had a wedge salad. Joe sent us over a wonderful Agnolotti appetizer as well, which was more than kind. The ambiance was positive and upbeat, perfect for the evening. Sergio was also quite attentive in making sure our table was serviced properly. We ordered our entrees with my wife having the halibut dinner, and I had the famous giant meatball dish. Both meals were hot & tasty and presented well. We had a terrific time, and Art surprised us with a complimentary dessert 🍨 with berries. The restaurant is so nice and offers an outdoor patio and bar seating as well. The wine list is extensive, as are the craft beers. Highly recommended.“

“Each dish is spectacular. Love the calamari ….can be an appetizer to share or eat on your own with a salad. 230:Forest Avenue never disappoints!!!“

“pasta , lasagna very friendly polite and helpful waiter“

“Fresh fish expertly prepared by friendly chef with equally cheerful service staff! We will be back“

“I like Nono's Affordable Mexican food, and a front patio to also eat at. I like there enchiladas, tostados, tacos.“

“California Fish Grill has become one of my favorite go-to spots. The menu has a great variety of healthier options, especially if you’re looking for a protein-focused meal. The staff really make the place shine — efficient, friendly, and genuinely welcoming.“

“We stopped by to grab lunch today and typically we have a hard time finding places to eat because my partner has a severe food allergy. Thankfully, we had a lot of help from Christian who was assisting customers with orders and he made sure our food was safe. It was excellent and the service was great. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“Love the service and the food here. Their Arroz con pollo, and flan are to die for. As are other items on the menu. Even their bread and butter they serve just crazy delicious.“

“The second location I have been to, and compared to the first in Temple City this place was not quite as good. The main setback is the portion size which is quite small. The interior is clean and well decorated, and staff are friendly and helpful. The food quality is good and tasty.“

“Sattva is our go-to Indian restaurant!! We’ve been to both locations and have found it to be consistent, delicious, and the service is always top notch! Highly recommend the butter chicken & tikka masala (basic, I know, but SO GOOD). We also have a vegan friend who always appreciates the number of options for her. The mango lassi is also delish!“

“amazing atmosphere and food was absolutely delicious!!!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food, **Heaven on a Fork** is an absolute must- visit. Every single dish we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and everything is seasoned perfectly.

From the appetizers to the main courses, this restaurant never disappoints. The portions are generous, the service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay and enjoy every bite.

It’s rare to find a place where every dish is consistently outstanding, but Heaven on a Fork delivers every time. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine.You won’t be disappointed!“

“Lively, bright, and smelling like the grill. TV’s on, salsas lined up, and a steady flow of families and regulars. It feels like a true neighborhood mariscos spot where plates land hot and the pace never really slows.

The Food
I went straight for the carne asada burrito, and it hit all the right notes: warm tortilla with a light griddle char, well-seasoned beef, balanced rice and beans, and enough freshness from the salsa and limes to keep each bite bright. Portions are generous without feeling heavy. The salsa bar helps you tune heat and acidity exactly how you like it.

Service & Atmosphere
Friendly, fast, and no fuss. Orders came out quickly even with a crowd, tables were cleaned between seatings, and the team kept the line moving. Casual, upbeat energy that works for a quick solo bite or a family meal.

Final Take
A dependable neighborhood spot with flavorful grill work and quick, friendly service. Five stars for value, pace, and a burrito that delivers exactly what you want.“

“Went here two days ago, and still thinking about how amazing everything here is and when my next opportunity to visit is!!!

First off, the friendly confident customer service from Snaho really made me and my sister feel welcome. She knew what she had to offer and answered all our questions about the menu and specials!

We came here in time for happy hour and I got the ahi poke nachos...best. Nachos. Ever. Crisp, corn tortilla chips with great quality ahi poke and perfect amount of sauce, sides etc etc I could go on forever and ever.

My sister got the fish house salad and we both finished everything (no leftovers everything was to die for!) The hot chai drink is also made homemade from spices in an authentic Indian style. They offer dairy free options as well such as soy and almond milk, even stevia as a sugar alternative!

My sister got another order after being the chicken nachos with black beans. I've got to say Snaho knows what she's doing. The salsa, beans, meat, cheese (she even has dairy free options for cheese as well!! Vegan if you may) is absolutely perfect. Every dish is very well thought out and complements one another.

Will definitely be coming back to the outdoor patio which is pleasant and casual with a full service restaurant style after ordering and paying at the front.

Give this place a try!!!“

“Tasty, delicious food every time. They are consistent. I especially like their house salad with ranch dressing, free pizza bread, garlic bread, chicken parmigiana pasta with meat sauce. These are my faves here. I love their pizza too.“

“Best poke! So much variety, tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, octopus, shrimp. tamago, and tofu. Delicious add-ons and lots of toppings!“

“The food was amazing! Tacos were to die for 😋 the cashier with the glasses he was super nice and helped us navigate the menu as first time customers! Definitely will be coming back. Wait time was pretty fast and the food was well portion!“

“Great vibes and crew. Food has great variety (large or small portions) and service is quick and efficient. I bring friends and family days and nights when we want frssh Italian meals away from home.“

“Great service!!! Keep up the good work“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“Always enjoy eating here, been a customer for 18+ years. For us it is worth the hour drive.“

“great food, healthy options“

“Wow wow wow, my first time here, I had beef Soltani, it was the best Soltani i ever had, brave owner and staff“

“PMG offers great food & service.“

“Forgot how flavorful the food is here. It has been a little while since visiting Wahoo's since my go-to is not a fish taco.
I had the Bonzai Burrito with Asada Beef. It comes with marinated veggies, which adds a unique flavor to the entire burrito.
The salads are also good and quite large.
There wasn't a long line and our order was taken quickly, we did wait a while for the food service but it arrived hot and as ordered.
The atmosphere is lifted with decorations that are unique and festive.
Prices are very affordable and coupons or online discounts are often available. Parking lot is small but there seems to be space near by.“

“The food was good, but by the time we got home it was room temp. We only live like 5 minutes from the store and we went right home. I guess I could have warmed it up in the microwave, but I was feeling lazy that day. The fish was very dry in the taco. Might not get the fish again. The cheese enchilada was good, but probably would have been better if I heated up a little in the microwave. I probably won't order online next time. The employees were nice.“

“We love poke bowls!!! Just had it for dinner last night. Love the addition of the combo to the menu. Service is always great!“

“10 de 10 todo estuvo 💯 en el servicio la comida la atención todo estuvo excelente 🔥🔥🔥“

“The new Smoky Oaxacan Shrimp 🍤 Bowl 🍲 is one their best creations. How can you beat rice and beans, Shrimp, guacamole, tortilla strips, and chipotle sauce. Probably a lot of sodium so you may want to get it to go and save some for later.“

“Baja Fish Tacos in Tustin is legit
Food is always on point. Fresh, flavorful, and hits every time. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or pulling up with the crew, this spot doesn’t miss. Definitely one of those go-to spots when you want something solid and consistent.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Probably the best poke we’ve ever had. Super fresh, high quality, melt in your mouth fish that even rivals poke selections on the Hawaiian islands. Good variety of toppings and generous portions; the large was hard for me to finish and I eat A LOT. We ordered 2 large half/half bowls and one small (no drinks) each bowl included an upcharge for premium toppings and the total cost was just over $60. Extremely delectable lunch meal; we would definitely eat here again.“

“Excellent and creative food. I love the Oceanside taco with octopus and shrimp. Also they have a cilantro cream sauce that is amazing! I often buy many burritos for my customers and they always package them up nicely in a box making them easy to carry into offices and job sites.“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“they go out there way to deliver a beautiful curry, Rice nan, onion bahgee everything beautiful as always..10 out of 10 for everything...Col Carno“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Hello again I hope you are understanding how good the food is ! 😊“
